THE MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN,
Good Chances Of the Republicans for Increas-
ing Their Representation in the Council.

The municipal campaign will hardly become
active before the middle of September. but the
party men are busy in arranging their matters
to make the most of the short period between
that and the day of the election A Republican
close to the management of his party's interests
said last evening ave are in better shape now
than two years ago. Then we had considerable
disaffection TO control but of that is to ex-
ist in this campaign. Cottrell secured good
many Republican votes by personal appeals
He had lived here many years. and
had large acquaintance. which
helped to take away votes th4t ought otherwise
to have gone to Denny E6enharter is
paratively newcomer. He has been in the city
only few years, that element of strength
Cottrell had through long residence will not
aid him. There is an independent vote, too, that
went largely against two years ago. That is
almost solid now in supporting the Republican
ticket. Among the Democrats-the reputable
portion of them-there is quite a number who
will quietly cast their votes against the gang
that controls their party. 1t is rather early to
make any safe predictions, but if affairs continue
as they have begun, we will come out of the
campaign with decisive majority.
What about the control of the next Couuci?"
II am sure wes will lose nothing that will put
us in the minority. 1t is probable that gain
can be made In two or three of the Democratic
wards if the right kind of men are n ominated.
There is the Fifteenth ward. for instance, where
Mike Burns is the Coy candidate. He is in
the Council now because he can serve Colonel
johnson, by whom he is employed. and the dis
affection among the Irish Democrats there is
great. There is chance of replacing
Burns with a Republican. In the Tween
tieth and Twenty-first wards there
is possibility of succeeding with
men who are aggressive and at the
sametime discreet in political work The Four
teenth ward is represented by Democrat. We
expect to have him succeeded by Republican.
In the close wards never had better fighting
chances. We can secure decisive majority IN
the Council and Board of Aldermen if the Re-
pubcans are wide awake and careful in their
nominations"
SO far the Republicans have nominated in the
First ward, E. b. Elliott IN the Second. d. T.
Swain; Third. Calvin F. Darnell; Fifth, John R.
Pearson; Twelfth, M. NJ. Cummings and Thir-
tenth. Edward Dunn. Two nominations will
be made this week. both Friday evening,
those for the Ninth and Tenth wards. On Sat
urday, the 27t,h theFourth and Seventh wards
will hold primaries, the contests there are
exciting considerable interest. The Democrats
have about completed their lists while the
Union Labor party have nominated candidates
in the First Fourth, Seventh, Ninth, Thirteenth
Fourteenth. Eighteenth. Nineteenth, Twentieth
Twenty first, Twenty-second, Twenty Fourth
and Twentv-ffth wards
